This study is concerned with coronary risk factors in school age children in Muscatine, Iowa. Measurements of heights, weights, triceps skin fold thickness, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and blood pressure have been made on alternate years in an entire school district on alternate years in an entire school district on alternate years since 1970. From these measurements studies of tracking (peer rank order consistency) of antropometric measures, persistently in the upper quintile, mid quintile and lowest quintile of the distribution are studied. These are being studied by electrocardiography, echocardiography, and venous occlusive plethysmography, before and after salt loading. Studies of familial aggregation of blood pressure levels, and familial morbidity and mortality in 1st and 2nd degree relatives of children with low, mid and high blood pressure levels are being carried out.
